So you want to go back to prohibition ? Because alcohol is a drug.
Want to see a video of how someone looks like after using psychedelic drugs for some time? Will you still make this comparison afterwards?
If you people establish that banning alcohol is a absolute requirement for banning cruel drugs that destroy entire families, so be it.

Look, you'd have to be both purposefully oblivious and living under a rock to not have a notion of what drunk people look like and the research done on the health risks of it, and all the addiction and alcoholism... Like, give me a fucking break.
Edit: I'm saying this to say that humans have accepted the risk associates with alcohol (not saying not to regulate it) and it should equally allow the same for drugs. The only difference is that some drugs are plain out less harmful than alcohol.
